Vance's Darifree Fake Milk

Our local co-op does not require you to be a member to shop there, but I understand some do. I'd call first and check before making a trip. With ours, membership gets you a discount on certain days, and a little more "validity" in input - when a member asks them to carry specific items, they are more likely to jump on it and get them in, knowing that the person shops there regularly. Also, I can order special things through the co-op, like if I wanted a case of Vance's Darifree and ordered it through the co-op, if they give any "business" or quantity discounts, I would get that. Also split the cost of shipping with any order that the co-op was placing, instead of having to pay all the shipping myself. And our co-op works with the local farmers, so again if I want something special in quantity, I can ask and the co-op might be able to get a better price than if I just tried to buy it myself. I think the co-op is a good idea, and try to support it by being a member. If it wasn't local though, I probably wouldn't join. Just purchase occassionally when I was in the area.

Debmidge--I don't think it tastes exactly like milk--but I like it very much. It (to my taste) is a bit sweeter than milk. The thickness (texture) is more like regular whole milk. It is great for things that you don't mind adding a little bit of sweetness to. Sometimes I use it dry--like a non-dairy creamer in my hot tea. It makes it nice and creamy--lots better than the thinner rice and almond milks. It also makes great cocoa, and I think it would be good on cereals. I don't use it in my mashed potatoes, though. Mix it up and I think you'll be pleased! :)

That's so nice of you! :D

My dd likes it on her cereal. It's also good in blended, iced coffee recipes. I also use Vance's for my soups such as potato, cream of broccoli, gluten-free cream of mushroom etc. I also like it as a cream base for pasta dishes. I can use the powder with oil, vinegar, and spices to make creamy vinegrette dressings. Here recently I used the powder with mustard etc. to make a dressing for potato salad. My dd can't have mayo and the salad was awesome. :)

It was a godsend for me only because I can't tolerate soy or rice milks. I can do almond milk, but because of the nutty taste, it's not suited to certain things. Not that I was a milk drinker to begin with! It is just perfect for me for the times I need a creamy ingredient. Now, if they would just carry it in more stores....

My dd is allergic to soy milk and almond milk. I'm not a milk drinker but my dd will drink Vance's by the glass. I can even dilute it some and she enjoys it. I really like being able to control the consitancy of the milk. We do coconut milk, rice milk and Vance's. I use them all and rotate them as I need.

I haven't got to try to the Vance's ice cream recipes yet because I'm almost out. I hope to try it this weekend. I'll be sure to post how it goes! :D

Miss Roben's has a ice cream mix that uses Vance's that you might want to check out. I prefer to use organic ingredients when at all possible so I'll probably just make my own. :)

Kasey's mom--I will be looking forward to see how the ice cream recipe goes--it's been a long time since I've had ice cream (sorbets are good, but not the same). I see you use it for soups--I am thinking I can use it then for scalloped potatoes--very possibly tonight w/chicken! Thanks again for all of your good ideas :)

Additional Questions:

1) After I make it, I store in refrigerator - how long does it last?

2) It is best tasting right after it's made?

3) Does anyone get any gut reactions (non celiac reactions) from it?

I agree w/Patti ~ my daughter doesn't really care for it to drink straight, but loves it in things. It definitely is sweeter than milk. I usually make a cup w/the creamer recipe (1c. hot water to 1/3c DF) every morning. Use most of it to make a smoothie for her and then use whatever is left in my coffee or hot chocolate.

I also bake w/it. Our new favorite bread recipe has it in it and last night I made some cupcakes w/it too.

Acording to thier web site, it lasts 1 year unmade, and 1 week made.

Wow--that got there fast!! Well, it turned out perfect because today's your birthday--another present :D ! Hope you enjoy it--do make the cocoa--I do it with pure cocoa powder, sugar and the milk. It's so good. If you make up a pitcher-full, be sure to mix very well--use the hot water method on the label--it tends to want to clump on the bottom. Have fun--enjoy the rest of your day, and let me know how it goes! :)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
